Happy 17th Birthday Harrison

Harrison, you have always found a way to make us laugh!!
You are great at entertaining your little brother, Garrett.

You still love doing things that little boys enjoy, like exploring our creek.
You never complained about having to ride your bike two miles to work, then working 10 hours on a combine, then riding home in the dark.
You bought this mini-bike at a garage sale, worked on the engine and got it running. You painted it and made it look new. You give your little brother rides. Where are the helmets? We love the way you get an idea and make it happen.
We were all so impressed when you jumped 55 ft. into the reservoir with cousin Grayson. When many boys took three years to get the courage, you decide in 5 minutes to jump, with encouragement from Grayson.
I love the way you are always creating and fixing things.
I love spending time with you on Mom Dates.
You are a big part of our family, as we all work together on the farm.
You are thoughtful on "Mother's Day" and know just what to get your mom.

You make us so proud, Harrison. Thank you for the many errands you run and taking yourself and your sister to school each day. We love you so much. Happy Birthday. Love, Mom and Dad

Happy Birthday! My Kellianne's birthday was yesterday. She turned 16 AND took her driver's lisence test yesterday also. She passed!! I don't know if I should be happy or sad about that yet. I do feel older since it's my baby who has passed that big milestone now. Anyway I hope this is a great birthday for your son!

I just noticed you said you live in a house built in 1913. That is the year both of my parents were born.
